The comprehensive improvement of the Palmones Industrial Estate is part of the Free Trade Zone's line of work to reinforce its presence in the province and, in particular, in Campo de Gibraltar in order to create infrastructure that promotes economic activity and helps create jobs.
The works will consist of a comprehensive improvement of this industrial estate, with actions such as strengthening the urban structure; the improvement of service infrastructures and the enhancement of the global image, actions that will redesign, improve and, in some cases, create new spaces, in order to correct obsolete infrastructure over the years and will modernize and energize some industrial estates that attract population from the entire Campo de Gibraltar region.
The Cádiz Consortium is also carrying out improvement works in other industrial estates in the province, in the El Portal Industrial Estate in Jerez de la Frontera and in the La Palmosa Industrial Estate in Alcalá de los Gazules, both works already awarded and which once completed will offer quality services and will help to reactivate the industrial and business fabric of their areas of influence.
